Our first dollar!
So, this is not the first business that Brittany and I have launched, and will not be the last either... but one thing that I always look for as my first milestone is to make that first $1. Our site is to the point right now where we have several posts and pages, and we have a pretty large local following in our town as we are both born and raised so we've been able to generate some traffic just through our large network here in Tampa, FL. Some traffic from people we don't know that have found our site, still working on increasing that for sure.
But, one thing I was curious about is whether we would make money with Google first, or Amazon Affiliate program first... we have some posts with both, some posts with one or the other, and Google AdSense as the sidebar ads right now. Reviews we've done are all Amazon based posts, as the resources we're reviewing are pushing people there to buy them.
So, who was the winner? Who is paying the first dollar to Winning The Daily Battle??!!
GOOGLE ADSENSE!!! I checked our account today and estimated earnings are at $1.19 right now. They won't get a ribbon or anything from me... but what they will get is a long term commitment to make sure that Google AdSense is a part of our site in some way or fashion for the life of it.
I know, that's not huge, but what I build businesses on typically is (especially businesses with the potential of affiliate marketing industry) "if I can make one dollar, I can make a million of those!"
Belief is up, now time to step the grind up and pick up the pace on pumping out more content (keeping the same quality) and hammer through the next few phases of Kyle's training after Level 3 is done tomorrow. One question I had when getting this started, "How long until the first dollar rolls in?"
Answer: "Sooner than I really anticipated with us being brand new to this kind of marketing"

It's great reading people that are further on and making it work. I'm only 2 days in so finding my feet. Good luck x
Zoe, this was a lot for me the first few days, but I put in a lot of time in working through the training because I don't like being incompetent at anything lol! Stay focused on the step by step and you will find your feet pretty quickly for sure! Good luck, reach out to someone personally or to the community if you need anything!
Thanks William! Excited for when that turns into exponential dollars down the road as we stay on the grind getting this thing off the ground!
This is so great! Congratulations to you! It's certainly nice to have made that first $. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations! It's encouraging to see fellow believers in the WA Community, just a thought does KLOVE have an affiliate program, Sparrow Records?
Hey Vance! Thanks for the message here! I looked on KLOVE's website and don't see anything about them having an affiliate program unfortunately, would love to drive some traffic their way for sure. I might mention them in some posts though even if not for a dollar, as we're on a very similar path of spreading the Word and helping people live better lives and that's what it's all about for us... making money is the easy part in life and for us it has always followed adding value to people's lives selflessly.
Thanks for the recommendation! Feel free to send me a link to your site and I'd be happy to check it out and pass some comments along. If you want to read any of our articles and add some comments yourself, feel free to at:

Wishing you victory in all your battles today,
